Getting started with Estradiol patches at QuickMD
Description
Estradiol patches are a prescription medication that help restore estrogen, an essential hormone your body naturally produces. They deliver a steady dose through the skin to ease perimenopause and menopause symptoms such as hot flashes, night sweats, sleep disturbances, mood changes, vaginal dryness, and bone health. Estradiol patches may also be prescribed for women who do not produce enough estrogen naturally. You can meet with a QuickMD doctor to see if estradiol patches are the right option for you.
How to use
Apply estradiol patches as directed by your QuickMD doctor. This medication is for external use only. Place one patch, sticky side down, on a clean, dry hairless area of skin such as the lower abdomen or buttocks. Always remove the old patch before applying a new one, and never cut or trim the patch. To prevent skin irritation, choose a different site each time. Staying on schedule helps keep hormone levels steady and treatment effective. Each prescription comes with a patient information leaflet. Be sure to read it carefully, and ask your doctor if you have any questions.

Side effects
Serious or adverse side effects from estradiol patches are rare. However, some women may experience nausea, headaches, breast tenderness, skin irritation at the patch site, changes in sleep, weight changes, or vaginal itching or discharge.
This is not a full list of side effects, interactions, or warnings, and it should not replace medical advice. For guidance tailored to your health and medications, always talk with your healthcare provider or pharmacist.
Safety information
Estradiol patches must be prescribed by a licensed doctor. A consultation with a QuickMD doctor is required to review your health and determine if this prescription medication is appropriate for you.
Frequently asked questions
How much do estradiol patches cost?
Estradiol patches start at $49 with QuickMD’s cash-pay option, giving you clear, upfront pricing with no hidden fees. Many women prefer this route because it’s simple, stress-free, and allows their medication to be shipped right to their door. If you’d rather use insurance, your doctor can send your prescription to your local pharmacy. Costs and coverage depend on your plan, but your QuickMD doctor will walk you through the options so you can choose what works best for your health, your budget, and your life.
Do estradiol patches cause weight gain?
Weight gain isn’t considered a common side effect of estradiol patches. Some people may notice mild bloating or fluid retention, but this is usually temporary. Lifestyle factors, age, and menopause itself can play a larger role in weight changes than the patch. If you notice changes that concern you, talk with your doctor so they can help you manage them.
How long does it take for an estradiol patch to start working?
Many women begin to notice improvement in symptoms such as hot flashes and night sweats within the first few weeks of starting an estradiol patch. For some, it may take a couple of months to feel the full benefit as hormone levels stabilize. Staying consistent with use and following up with your doctor helps ensure the treatment is working for you.
How the membership works
Book your first visit. It’s free to start!
To begin your MHT Membership, book your first visit with a QuickMD doctor who understands perimenopause and menopause. Start with your first month free, then continue at $79 per month, which includes a doctor’s visit, your prescription, and ongoing care. During your first appointment, your doctor will review your health history, listen to your symptoms, and answer your questions. Together, you’ll decide whether hormone therapy feels right for you and start care that’s supportive, personal, and focused on lasting relief.
Unlock the perks of woman-centered care
Your membership gives you immediate access to answers when you need them most. Each month, your first doctor’s visit is included in your membership, and if you need additional support, extra visits are just $49. If medication could help ease your symptoms, your doctor will take the time to discuss your options and prescribe what you need during your visit. You can choose to have it shipped directly to your home with transparent pricing, or sent same-day to your local pharmacy. There are no contracts to lock you in, so you can cancel anytime. It’s flexible care built around what you’re going through, so you get the care you deserve.
Find relief with Estradiol patches, if right for you
If your doctor determines estradiol patches are right for you, they can prescribe them as part of your treatment plan. Each patch delivers a steady flow of estrogen through your skin, helping your body gradually restore balance. Over time, many women notice hot flashes and night sweats happening less often, sleep feeling more restorative, and energy coming back. Mood steadies, focus is clearer, and intimacy feels more comfortable. With regular use and ongoing check-ins through your membership, you and your doctor can track your progress and make adjustments to ensure your treatment is working the way it should.
